Gosh, I guess Richard’s “news report” of that eight-man tag actually being a fatal 4-way was incorrect. Guess it can be difficult for a guy who makes his living reporting wrestling news to actually watch a wrestling show and report the match exactly as it is reported on the actual wrestling show.

Who cares about facts or being wrong or reporting misinformation just because he doesn’t care enough to actually pay attention to the product? BUY A PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION!!!!!!!!!

And people will say that I’m being a douchebag and jump to Richard’s defense. But look at the facts.. he asks $6-8 a month for access to all features of his website. On RAW, they very specifically announce the New Age Outlaws teaming with Ryback and Curtis Axel to face the Usos, Cody Rhodes and Goldust. Richard cared enough about reporting actual news, that he said it was a fatal 4-way between the four teams. It was announced ON THE SHOW. The only way to make that kind of mistake is if you don’t care about what you’re putting on your own website. And I realize this is a little mistake, but it’s a mistake that shouldn’t be made when you’re asking people to PAY for the information you provide. And it’s also far from the first mistake that goes unfixed and unapologized for.

I used to be a loyal subscriber, but this website has turned in to an editorial site for Richard to give his opinions.. with very little substance of actual “news”. He is extremely self-important and seemingly only entitled to his own opinion. And yes, it is extremely agitating that he would have the audacity to charge money for something he cares about to the point of misreporting a story that anyone watching RAW could’ve reported better than he did.

Call me petty, call me a douchebag, but I’m not asking for your money to share my opinions with you.

And before anyone says “If you don’t like it, why are you here?” or worries about why this bothers me so much…

I paid for a subscription to this website from November of 2008 until November of 2013. That’s enough money spent to earn me a right to an opinion. And, the fact that I’ve spent so much money on someone who clearly doesn’t care makes me really want to get out the word so that other people don’t make the same mistake I did.

opie

Sooo, can I give you money to keep your opinions to yourself?

RJR

Nah. Thank you though. But I do like the irony that you can share an opinion about me and what I write, but you suggest that I shouldn’t share my opinion about this site and what is written on it.

opie

There’s no irony. I didn’t state any opinion about you or make any suggestion about what you should or shouldn’t do. I just asked a question, but if you want to be real about it, I think your gripes are heavy-handed and superfluous. You don’t like premium? Don’t pay for it. You don’t like the site? Don’t visit it. You feel cheated or want to complain? Go to the BBB or something. Don’t be a petty douchebag. Rather than complaining about what you don’t like, wouldn’t your time be better spent finding or talking about something you do like?

RJR

Well, at least you’re sticking to the exact words I assumed people would use when trying to refute my opinions. “Petty” and a “douchebag”.

Petty, to me, would be if I wasted $6 on this site and ended with this strong of an opinion. That isn’t the case. I admit that I was the idiot who spent a decent amount of money on this site, despite the shoddy reporting, despite the sometimes-infuriating opinion pieces and despite the fact that Richard employs “reporters” (one, in particular) that write with the grammatical skills of a fourth grader.

As for being a douchebag, I’d suggest once again that being a douchebag would more accurately describe someone who puts out lazy work, calls it a career and expects people to pay him money for basically nothing.

opie

But you don’t have to pay. You don’t have to read the opinion pieces. They’re not for me, but that’s what people have asked for more of. I just skip over them and read what I want to read. I agree that some of the articles could stand some proofing, but it doesn’t affect me significantly. I think the quality of writing is roughly equal to that of a lot of video game, music, and sports sites. It’s not that big a deal. It sounds like you’re just upset at yourself because you feel like you let yourself get tricked. It’s not RG’s fault you paid for five years. You could’ve stopped long before then.

On a more positive note, Cesaro pinned Orton! YES!

RJR

Oh, I completely agree with you. I am upset that I fell for his displaying himself as an actual “insider”, despite only providing stories where he either cannot confirm anything or refuses to report. It is 100% my fault for continuing to believe.

I’m hoping, if anything, my anger pushes Richard’s agenda to actually provide content to his paying subscribers instead of essentially stealing money out of their pockets on a monthly basis. It’s not his fault I paid, but it is his fault that I have this opinion of him and his “work”.

And on that more positive note, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I hope this is the start of a nice run for Cesaro. I have little faith in WWE sticking with the pushes of people I enjoy watching, but, I keep watching in hopes that eventually, something will stick.

Alain Labatos

Cesaro just pinned the WWE World Champion! YES!

opie

Can’t wait to see this match. I feel like Cesaro probably matches up pretty well with Orton. I know it’s probably too much to ask, but I would love to see him as WHC soon.

Pauluk

Has orton even won a match since the royal rumble?

Jazi

There was that match with Christian on last week’s smackdown…. And I think it was a clean victory…

opie

If Sheamus beats Orton clean on Monday, is that WWE’s biggest middle finger to Christian’s career?

Mike McCarthy

It would be right up there with dropping the WHC after two days.

BigMike

Casaro matches well with anyone; he is that good

michael

I was there last night and the #1 contenders match was a great bout. The 8 man tag was solid. Daniel Bryan was over like always. Cesaro was also over. The bout with Orton was match of the night. Cesaro hit the big swing on Orton for 19 rotations. Good smackdown overall. Can’t wait to see how it comes across on tv.

Mike McCarthy

This seems like an awesome show. Seeing Cesaro actually go over Orton is amazing and I think this means that his appearance in the Elimination Chamber is an actual elevation, unlike previous years how they always throw in 1 or 2 mid-carders.

Avalanchian

Cesaro seems to be getting a nice little push in his near feature while Sandow is just getting buried.

ldb

who did mark henry pi$$ off. he can’t win the us title or even top contender to the intercontintial.

BigMike

I am surprised they put Cesaro over Orton so he is 1-3 in the gauntlet which IMO only bodes that he will retain at EC
